This is what I usually suggest. I don't officially support any other 
`gpg2` implementations, because MailMate does not yet have its own 
password requester for OpenPGP. In other words, the user either has to 
make sure password requesters are never needed or that the alternative 
`gpg2` command can pop up its own GUI.

There is a nicer way to do it though. It is intended to be part of some 
future GUI for editing a set of default environment variables. Here is 
how to do it from the command line:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate environmentVariables -dict 
"variables" '( { enabled = :true;  name = "MM_GPG"; value = 
"/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2"; }, )'

I believe MailMate also looks for `MM_TNEF` which controls the location 
of the command used for decoding `winmail.dat` files and family, but I 
doubt anyone would want to replace the default :-)

I make no guarantees that the above is going to work in the future. They 
are low-level implementation details.
